It is a pleasure to recommend David Carpe. David's key strengths include his vast knowledge in the technology sector, his keen insight and research acumen, plus his ability to provide value and actionable recommendations for clients. Given the fast pace of the internet and ever-changing evolution of communication devices, David's ability to remain on the leading edge of information makes him an asset to anyone seeking immediate impacts and relevant solutions to the business.

I came to know David through the Society of Competitive Intelligence Professionals (SCIP) and came to rely on David's expertise in areas related to gathering and analyzing business intelligence. He clearly is a pro who understands all facets of actionable competitive intelligence, particularly the "human side."

Dave is truly unique, in every sense of the word. He's far beyond his peers in his field thanks to his vision, his enthusiasm, his creativeness, and his intelligence. I should also mention he's quite outgoing, something that for an analyst/researcher is harder to come by than one might imagine. His quirky wit is nothing short of enjoyable.

I came to know David through the passionate research work he's doing for PassingNotes.com and Clew.

David is not afraid to say when something doesn't impress him, which makes it easy to believe him when he does. PassingNotes.com therefore offers a fresh voice on various IT and research related topics.

Dave is a deep well of knowledge in the competitive intelligence space, specially as it relates to Human Capital. His primary research is impeccable, out of the box, and thorough. If you need to know something nobody else has been able to tell you, Dave is "the source."

David is a pioneer in Comptetitive Intelligence and a true entrepreneur. His mind goes one thousand miles an hour, and he uses that ability to see many different angles to a solution. A trued "out of the box" thinker, David is a creative problem solver, knowledgeable, and a good consultant.

David has written several very good articles for our Competitive Intelligence Magazine on social network analysis, researching private companies, source mapping, and elicitation. These articles have demonstrated a deep and thorough understanding of obtaining information through people contacts and through creative use of online social networks and databases.

When I worked with Dave, he was running a start up business. I found him to be mentally quick, highly energetic, a good leader, resourceful (given a shortage of funds) and relentless as an entrepreneur. I enjoyed the working relationship and would jump back in any time.

David is a brilliant talent and runs a very successful CI consultancy, spanning marketing to recruiting intel, including repeat work from noted companies. While not a direct customer, I know: his work for SCIP, providing a keen researcher’s perspective in his columns for Competitive Intelligence magazine; his pioneering creation of (& irreverent, insightful contributions to) PassingNotes and ResearchZilla; & the pleasure of conversations where his quick mind is evident. Ever hungry to learn more, he synthesizes and shares much (though wisely not all ;).

I worked with David on a joint presentation at an AIIP conference. Since then I've seen David's dedication to competitive intelligence through his contributions in Competitive Intelligence magazine, on news groups, and on the ResearchZilla blog site he set up.
